Effects of gamma radiation on solid trisodium citrate dihydrate: radical kinetics, radiosensitivity and dosimetry

Abstract: In the present work, radiosensitivity and dosimetric potential of solid trisodium citrate dihydrate (SC) were explored through a detailed electron spin resonance (ESR) study performed at various temperatures. Irradiated SC was observed to exhibit an ESR spectrum consisting of many intense and weak resonance lines spread over a magnetic field range of 7 mT and centered at g = 2.0039. An evaluation technique based on the variations of the characteristic resonance line intensities and the spectrum area under diff… Show more

“…2, reaction 2). Furthermore, the oxidation of citrate to dicarboxy acetone, acetone or other products upon heating or in the presence of metal ions has been described in the literature (Jiang et al 2009;Bartosewicz et al 2018;Khan et al 2012;Yasmin et al 2016;Tuner et al 2010). This occurs when citrate ions are decomposed through the microwave irradiation to form dicarboxy acetone (Fig.…”

“…While, radiosensitivity and kinetic features of sodium salt of CA were studied in detail in the literature [18], in our knowledge no attempt has been made to determine the kinetic features of the produced radicals, radiosensitivity and possible dosimetric potential of CA. The aim of the present work is to investigate the kinetic features of the radicals produced in c-irradiated anhydrous and monohydrate CA, and to explore the radiosensitivity and possible dosimetric potential of these compounds through a detail ESR study carried out at different temperatures.…”

“…This is especially important for low energies, in which the photoelectric effect is predominant (Johns and Cunningham, 1983). Out of the 16 compounds studied, only three of them -lithium carbonate (Popoca and Ureña-Núñez, 2009;Herrera, Ureña-Núñez and Loya, 2005), sodium carbonate (Ureña-Núñez and Ballesteros, 2009), and sodium citrate (Tuner and Korkmaz, 2010) -have already been described with gamma radiation for EMR dosimetry. Considering the behavior of dithionates (Lund et al, 2005), sodium dithionite was selected.…”
